RISGravity Wave Variance in LIMS Temperatures. Part I: Variability and Comparison with Background Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Small-scale features in temperature data from the Limb Infrared Monitor of the Stratosphere satellite experiment are isolated by subtracting profiles of globally mapped temperatures (containing zonal waves 0?6) from inverted ...
Gravity Wave Variance in LIMS Temperatures. Part II: Comparison with the Zonal-Mean Momentum Balance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Zonal-mean gravity wave variance in the Limb Infrared Monitor of the Stratosphere (LIMS) temperature data is seen to correlate strongly with the residual term in the LIMS zonal-mean momentum budget throughout much of the ...
The Global Distribution of Supersaturation in the Upper Troposphere from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite data from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) is analyzed to examine regions of the upper troposphere that are supersaturated: where the relative humidity (RH) is greater than 100%. AIRS data compare well to ...
Temporal and Spatial Characteristics of Short-Term Cloud Feedback on Global and Local Interannual Climate Fluctuations from A-Train Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractObservations from multiple sensors on the NASA Aqua satellite are used to estimate the temporal and spatial variability of short-term cloud responses (CR) and cloud feedbacks ? for different cloud types, with respect ...
Cloud-State-Dependent Sampling in AIRS Observations Based on CloudSat Cloud Classification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he precision, accuracy, and potential sampling biases of temperature T and water vapor q vertical profiles obtained by satellite infrared sounding instruments are highly cloud-state dependent and poorly quantified. The ...
Vertical Moist Thermodynamic Structure and Spatial–Temporal Evolution of the MJO in AIRS Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The atmospheric moisture and temperature profiles from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS)/Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit on the NASA Aqua mission, in combination with the precipitation from the Tropical Rainfall ...
Local Balance and Variability of Atmospheric Heat Budget over Oceans: Observation and Reanalysis-Based Estimates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors quantify systematic differences between modern observation- and reanalysis-based estimates of atmospheric heating rates and identify dominant variability modes over tropical oceans. Convergence of heat fluxes ...
Does the Madden–Julian Oscillation Influence Wintertime Atmospheric Rivers and Snowpack in the Sierra Nevada?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he relationships between the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO), activities of atmospheric rivers (ARs), and the resulting snowpack accumulation in the California Sierra Nevada, are analyzed based on 13 yr of observations for ...
Vertical Moist Thermodynamic Structure of the Madden–Julian Oscillation in Atmospheric Infrared Sounder Retrievals: An Update and a Comparison to ECMWF Interim Re-Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The large-scale vertical moist thermodynamic structure of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) was documented using the first 2.5 yr (2002?05) of version 4 atmospheric specific humidity and temperature profiles from the ...
The Apparent Water Vapor Sinks and Heat Sources Associated with the Intraseasonal Oscillation of the Indian Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he possibility of using remote sensing retrievals to estimate apparent water vapor sinks and heat sources is explored. The apparent water vapor sinks and heat sources are estimated from a combination of remote sensing, ...
